It was in his 13th year that Oğuzhan Cengiz (1977) first encountered the
anatomy of letters in a small signage workshop. This first contact led him
towards a BA in Graphic Design which he obtained in 2003 from the Faculty
of Fine Arts, Mersin University. Since then, he has worked as an art
director and freelance designer for a number of advertising agencies.
During this professional career, while developing the logo and lettering
designs, he started to create his original fonts. The defining criteria he
set for these new designs was basically acquiring a capacity to offer the
ideal features that he could himself employ is his own graphic design
practice.
Oğuzhan Cengiz held workshops and seminars at a range of prestigious
universities in Turkey. He still experiments with the anatomy of letters to
offer the most workable designs in his foundry Hurufatfont.
